I listened to the entire thing last night, and once again, thank you so much for posting this. The timing of my hearing it is impeccable; it's really resonating for me.

Thank you!

"we can say that though the savage is wounded, he prefers not to examine it. the wild man, who has examined his wound, resembles a zen priest, or shaman or woodsman more than a savage."

Hahah I think I might be red too. But I found myself thinking, it should be (or for me I feel more) that white comes before red, then black.

I may listen to this again, I agree very much and have put thought into this previously, that men in this society are lacking a certain initiation, a full maturing, guidance into the world of our potential, our strong role.
